Gensokyo's Dimensional Black Shop

Page 99

"Actually... it's not just the young lady..." The head maid's expression was somewhat hesitant.

"And the Second Miss?"

"And then there's Hong Meiling, Patchouli, and her familiar, a little devil who ended up in Gensokyo because of a summoning accident. Oh, and me too..."

"Why don't you just say that your whole family at Hongmeng Pavilion has one?"

“Absolutely not, those fairies are not in this category.” The head maid looked at Bai Ye seriously.

Although it didn't help her work at all, and the only thing it did was actually make things worse, there were quite a few fairy maids in the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Just think about the price Kappa sold those mechs for... Even if the Scarlet Devil Mansion is rich, it can't just spend money like that, right?

Furthermore, Sakuya strongly suspected that, given the intelligence of those fairies, the first thing they would do after obtaining the mecha would be to demolish the Scarlet Devil Mansion...

"So here's the question: do you need a standard mech or a custom-made one for each person?" Nodding to indicate that she understood, Bai Ye smiled and looked at the head maid.

"Is there any difference between the two?"

"The former is the original version of the mecha, possessing all the functions a normal mecha should have. If you can provide concept art before placing the order, I can change it to the skin you want for free. The latter..."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Ye gave two vivid examples: "You should know Fujiwara no Mokou, right? Her custom-made version is a mecha that can perfectly conduct the Phoenix Flame, while her arch-rival, Princess Eientei's custom-made version, in addition to its high fire resistance, also comes with ten telekinetic floating cannons, each of which has firepower close to that of a Great Youkai's full-force attack... Of course, only the kind of Great Youkai that has recently been promoted."

"..." After listening to Bai Ye's account, the head maid thought for a while and bowed apologetically to Bai Ye: "I'm sorry, this is not something I can decide. I must go back and ask the young lady for her opinion first."

"It's alright, but please remember to have the person who commissioned the custom mecha come here. That way, it will be easier for them to describe the mecha they want." Bai Ye smiled and waved goodbye to the head maid.

Given how wealthy Hongmeng Pavilion is, I feel like I'm about to receive another large sum of Origin Coins. This feeling of making money while lying down is really great...

So, should we give Grey Wolf a raise next time?

Chapter 245 I almost forgot I still have a million magic books

For the wealthy, accustomed to solving everything with money, the choice they would make when faced with a problem that can only be solved with money, and they happen to have enough cash on hand, is beyond question.

Even though Byakuya's image in Remilia's eyes has always been that of a villain who maliciously conveys an incorrect view of the Gensokyo world to her.

Similarly, Bai Ye wouldn't neglect such guests who came to his door looking for a free meal. He immediately contacted Grey Wolf and told him to hurry over.

There was a little incident during this time. When Remilia saw Grey Wolf, a blood-red spear instantly appeared in her hand, while Sakuya also had a handful of silver throwing knives tucked into her hand. Even Patchouli, who had been staring at Byakuya since entering the store, opened her magic book...

That is, after entering the store, Fran, who was happily playing the game of "you hit me, I hit you" with Jeanne Alter, was still immersed in her own world when she found that there was no "eye" in the store.

Finally, it took Bai Ye a lot of effort to convince this family that Grey Wolf was just a normal wolf, and definitely not a werewolf who had been fighting with vampires in Europe for countless years.

It's clear that although they put away their weapons out of respect for Bai Ye, Remilia and the others remain extremely wary of Grey Wolf, and there's also a lingering distrust that might be considered a bonus...

"Can this guy really build mechs? I don't know what kind of mechs you have here, but I've disassembled one from the Kappa's place, and the complexity of its internal structure..." Remilia looked at Grey Wolf's hands suspiciously.

"Since you've come to me, please trust me a little more, okay? And what good would it do me, as a store manager, to deceive you?"

"Who knows?" Remilia glared at Bai Ye with disdain, thinking about her foolish experience of rushing into the sunflower field last time. She jumped off the stool and came to Grey Wolf, beginning to describe what her ideal mecha would look like.

Having just received permission for a raise from Bai Ye, Grey Wolf readily agreed. Now, thanks to the mutton he got from Bai Ye and his clever brain (or perhaps the touching intelligence of his wolf relatives), Grey Wolf has truly become the king of the entire wolf clan, just like his great-great-great-great-grandfather.

Whoever provides the milk is the mother?

In the wolf pack, this is called "whoever has the sheep is king!"

Therefore, instead of wanting to quit because of the heavy workload, Grey Wolf actually hoped for as many tasks as possible from White Night...

Looking at Remilia, who was having a pleasant conversation with Grey Wolf, and recalling how they seemed ready to fight at any moment, Bai Ye couldn't help but shake his head... She really is a child at heart.

Hmm... a five-hundred-year-old child?

Thinking about it this way, it suddenly seems that there's nothing wrong with Yukari Yakumo calling herself a young girl.

"Um... sir, could I see those books behind you?" A soft, sweet voice interrupted Bai Ye's thoughts.

Turning his head, he saw it was the same mage who had just seen Grey Wolf walk out of the portal, a wisp of golden flame instantly appearing in his hand.

"Miss Patchouli, which book are you referring to?"

"It's that one...that one...that one...and that one..."

Several black lines appeared on Bai Ye's forehead. Why don't you just say you want it all?

"Take a look yourself, but be careful not to damage them. I still need these books." Turning around, Bai Ye took down a few magic books that he had prepared to fool Feng Qingyu from the cabinet, placed them on the table, and then whispered a word of advice.

“Of course! Those who damage magic books should be burned at the stake!” The mage looked at Bai Ye with a serious expression.

white night:"……"

Holy crap, that's a really strong killing intent!

Are all magicians this terrifying?

Thinking back to the timid Marisa of the past, who became this carefree (and crazy) person after changing her job to a mage, and then looking at Patchouli in front of him who would send people to the stake at the drop of a hat, Byakuya felt that he needed to re-evaluate the meaning of the word "mage".

Whether it was because the beginner-level magic books that White Night used to fool newbies weren't high enough, or because Patchouli always read so fast, it wasn't long before she put down the last book in her hand, a look of satisfaction mixed with a hint of regret...

"It is indeed a path that has been confirmed to be viable, but unfortunately, what we have here are only some initial conceptual ideas." The mage looked at Bai Ye expectantly: "Do you know where the mage who wrote these grimoires is?"

"Why couldn't I have written it?"

"That's impossible! How could a mage be someone like you!"

"..."

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean that. I meant that you don't look like a traditional mage, Mr. Bai Ye. I absolutely didn't mean to look down on you." Patchouli apologized repeatedly, realizing that she had probably said something inappropriate.

"Forget about it, the mage who wrote these books has already dragged his great enemy down with him..."

Although both Sargeras and Medivh are still alive and well in the end, one is now inside Azeroth and the other is still outside Azeroth, only able to look at each other from afar through the protective barrier of Azeroth.

Wait a minute, it seems these books were just collected by King Llane to enhance Karazhan's cultural heritage, and only a few of them are Medivh's masterpieces?

"That's a real shame." Upon receiving Bai Ye's reply, Patchouli's mood visibly soured.

“If your goal is to communicate with the mage who wrote these grimoires, then I can’t help you with that. But if you just want to see what happens next, that’s fine too.” Bai Ye patted the thick stack of grimoires on the counter.

"Really?"

"Nonsense, and what's the point of me telling such a lie that's so obvious it'll fall apart as soon as it's exposed, other than lowering my own credibility?" Bai Ye rolled his eyes.

"Then I'll leave it to Mr. Bai Ye." The mage quickly stood up and bowed to Bai Ye, which made Bai Ye's eyebrows twitch... Holy crap, I didn't notice before when you were sitting properly, but it turns out that your body, which looks like it could be blown over by a gust of wind, actually hides a pair of unusually large breasts.

As expected, you and Hong Meiling are outcasts in Hongmeng Pavilion.

"You can see the size of my shop; it obviously can't hold many books, so if you want to see those books, you might have to come with me to another world... Holy crap, when did you get here?!"

"Hmph, if I hadn't been keeping an eye on things, that idiot Patchouli might have been tricked into another world without even realizing it, right?" Remilia, kneeling on the counter, looked at Bai Ye with a scrutinizing gaze: "I won't let your scheme succeed!"

"Oh?"

"Unless...unless you take me with you too o(*￣3￣)o"

"Hehe." Bai Ye and the head maid not far away twitched in unison.

Chapter 246 confirms it: Patchouli really is that kind of person...

Unable to resist the insistence of a certain young lady who was nominally the Queen of Patchouli, Bai Ye ultimately led the entire family to Karazhan, after all...

As the titles of the previous chapters suggest, having money really does allow you to do whatever you want.

Not to mention, given the mage's fervent passion for the unknown and mysterious, how could he possibly just turn around and leave after witnessing the treasures of Karazhan that even the old men of Dalaran coveted?

As expected, seeing the spellbooks in Karazhan that filled the entire interior of the magic tower left even Remilia and Izayoi Sakuya, who usually didn't care much about magic, speechless. As for the certain mage...

"Lady Patchouli, Lady Patchouli, what's wrong? Lady Patchouli, please don't scare me QAQ"

"What's going on?" Recovering from the shock of the million-magic-book, Remilia and the others noticed Patchouli, who was now smiling and lying in the little devil's arms, and quickly surrounded them.

"I don't know either. After she came in, Lady Patchouli turned around, and then without saying anything, she became like this." The little devil wiped away her tears and looked at Remilia: "Miss, is Lady Patchouli already...?"

"If you don't want her to die, please step aside, okay?" Bai Ye pushed aside Remilia and Izayoi Sakuya who were blocking his way, squatted down to check Patchouli's condition, rolled his eyes speechlessly, and took out a card and broke it into pieces.

After the card shattered, a light that made both Remilia and Flandre feel very uncomfortable appeared in his hand.

"Holy Light?"

"Hmm, a friend of mine got this Great Resurrection spell from her birdman friend. No matter if someone is dead or alive, they can be brought back to life after one cast. But I think given your relationship with her, you probably won't care about a mere hundred million, right?" As he spoke, Bai Ye pressed the Holy Light in his hand onto Patchouli's chest. It felt good... cough.

"Of course, Patchouli is one of my few true friends... You swindler, what did you just say???"

"One hundred million? Otherwise, do you really think it's that easy to bring someone back from the dead?" Bai Ye looked innocently at the ruffled little girl.

"..."

"But, no matter how you look at it, it can't be that exaggerated. Patchouli was still breathing at that time..." Although she had accepted Byakuya's explanation in her heart, Remilia still felt that something was wrong.

Bai Ye could only pretend not to hear these words.

Aside from the Great Resurrection spell, spells like Holy Light, Lay on Hands, and Healing Spells, which grant positive status effects, should be able to bring Patchouli back. However, the benefit of using those spells is clearly not as great as the Great Resurrection spell...

Moreover, this "experiment" also confirmed some things for Bai Ye, such as the fact that this seemingly weak and delicate mage really is the kind of person who hides huge breasts... oops, I mean the effect of this Great Resurrection spell.

While Bai himself is not a professional doctor, as the saying goes, "one principle leads to all principles." After his own strength has improved to a certain level, he can still offer some insights into aspects that are not too demanding.

Although Patchouli's coma was suspected to be caused by excessive mental stress, it is undeniable that it was also related to her physical condition. After all, she was a witch who had already achieved immortality and was no longer limited by lifespan (according to the little devil). Her physical condition should not be far superior to that of ordinary people, but at least it should not be worse than that of ordinary people.

But according to Bai Ye's recent examination results, she really is not as good as an ordinary teenage girl... Oh right, there are also some diseases that seem insignificant at first glance, but could actually be fatal if problems arise. With this great resurrection spell, all of them were simply wiped out for her.

Remilia's expression softened upon hearing Bai Ye's explanation.

When Patchouli woke up, the girl immediately went over and started grabbing and touching the mage's body here and there, making Bai Ye, who was watching from the side, feel a little envious... ugh, disgusted.

"Remi, stop it, there are so many people watching." In the end, the mage herself couldn't stand the stares of the onlookers and took the initiative to stop Remilia's actions.

But does this mean that you can do whatever you want as long as no one is around?

“Patrick, how are you feeling right now? That swindler just took advantage of the situation to cheat me out of a huge sum of money. If I find out there’s any exaggeration involved… Hmph, I’ll have Red Beauty go to his door every day and cry about how she got ripped off. Let’s see if that guy still has any customers then.” Remilia looked up and glared at White Night halfway through her sentence.

"Why me?" Hong Meiling, who was lying down, never expected to be the target of such a barrage of questions.

"Why not you? Anyway, when you were the gatekeeper, it was practically the same whether you were there or not. I've even seen you sleeping standing up several times."

"Gurgle~" She was caught slacking off by the young lady... This time, Hong Meiling lowered her head and didn't say anything.

"Do you think this kind of threat will work on me?" Although it sounded quite frightening, after carefully considering the consequences if such a situation actually occurred, Bai Ye realized that he didn't need to panic at all, after all...

"Don't forget, there's a sunflower shop right across the street. Are you sure that, given her personality, she won't come to the Scarlet Devil Mansion to have a heart-to-heart talk with you after being bothered? The Human Village is quite close to the Lake of Mist."

Shrugging, Bai Ye got to enjoy the scene of Remilia crouching down with her head in her hands, just as he had hoped.

The mere name could frighten her so much across the world; Bai Ye was starting to wonder what exactly happened in the sunflower field back then... Hmm, she could ask Youxiang about it sometime.

At that moment, the mage cast a body-checking spell on himself, and after finishing, looked at Remilia in surprise: "How strange, I found that all the little ailments in my body have disappeared..."

"It's best if you disappear. Next time I ask you to go outside for exercise, you won't have any other excuse to refuse, right?" Remilia nodded, ignoring her friend's momentarily stunned expression, and looked at her sister who was already climbing up the bookshelf towards a medieval-style sword...

"Fran, you can't touch that thing!" Sensing an ominous aura emanating from the sword, Remilia quickly flapped her wings and flew towards her younger sister.

Chapter 247: Real Fragrance Warning

After much struggle, Remilia finally managed to snatch the evil sword that Medivh or Sargeras had somehow brought back from Fran's hands. However, before she could even catch her breath, Fran's hand was already reaching for an axe hanging on another pillar...

"Francine!!!"

"You silly sister, come and chase me! If you can catch up with Fran, Fran will let you have your way~" Fran, who had successfully created some distance between them, made a face at Remilia.

Remlia: “…”

Where did you learn such an infuriating tone? Give me back my lively, cute, and kind-hearted little sister!

"Alright, alright, let her play by herself. I've already granted her access. As long as she doesn't leave this magic tower, she won't trigger any magic traps inside." Seeing that Remilia still wanted to pounce on Fran, Bai Ye quickly stopped her.

If there's only Fran, she'll at most play around with the tower's collections that Bai Ye doesn't usually pay much attention to, out of curiosity. But if Remilia is added...

Bai Ye glanced at the bookshelves lying on the ground, shook his head, snapped his fingers, and manipulated the puppets inside the tower to clean them up.

"Mr. Baiye... Master Baiye, may I ask if this magic tower belongs to you?" Patchouli excitedly came up to Baiye after he had some free time and grabbed his hand to ask.

"Including those you care about most... namely, these magic books in here." As she spoke, she rummaged through the cabinet and pulled out a bottle of wine labeled "Royal Special" to pour herself a glass. Bai Ye's eyes lit up, and she looked at Remilia, who was glaring sullenly at Fran, who was frolicking in the magic tower, with her glass in hand: "Miss, would you like a glass? I feel pretty good."

"do not want!"

"..."

Okay, you're a young lady, you have your reasons for being willful.

Shaking his head, Bai Ye looked at Izayoi Sakuya and the others. Perhaps because Remilia's attitude in refusing Bai Ye was not very good, these girls chose to accept. Bai Ye also brought out a few side dishes that suited the tastes of these royal specials.

A few minutes later……
